Rites of Raven's Knoll Austin Lawrence

Raven's Knoll is a magical, one hundred acres of forest, meadow, field, bog, and river. It is a place for Canadian Pagans and Heathens to gather in community, or be in solitude, to honour and practice our spiritual traditions. It is a place where feasts are cooked over open hearths, images of the old Gods rise to meet the sky, and Spirits speak in silent clearings. From volunteer to shrine-builder, from ritual officiant to event attendee, the rites, stories, and experiences of many people are evoked within the pages of this book. Our traditions are a beautiful, diverse kaleidoscope. The establishment of Raven's Knoll has shown that when religion can be grounded in a place, when metaphoric roots can be made a reality, something of wonder is expressed.
